Farmstead Scattering Garden offers a mail-in human ash scattering service in a serene horse pasture. This option is perfect for those who find beauty and comfort in the grace of horses and the openness of pastureland.

A horse pasture symbolizes freedom, strength, and companionship. Choosing this setting allows your loved one’s memory to rest in a place where horses move with quiet dignity, embodying the enduring bond between humans, animals, and the land. Whether planning ahead for yourself or arranging a farewell for someone dear, this location provides a meaningful resting place that reflects both spirit and tradition.

Personalize the scattering by selecting a season, time of day, or meaningful date. You can also choose from weather elements and optional experiences to shape the ceremony into one that truly honors your vision.

There is an extra fee for high-traffic days (e.g., Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.).

To remain connected with your loved one, you may visit the Farmstead Scattering Garden Facebook page, where we share images and videos of the farm, its horses, and the pastoral beauty that surrounds them.

How It Works

We’ve designed the process to be clear and thoughtful. After checkout, you will receive mailing instructions via email. Once the cremated remains arrive at our farm, we scatter them in the horse pasture according to your chosen customizations. If you would like, we can also return the urn to you.

All ceremonies are guided by safety and practicality, so certain weather and experience combinations may not be possible. Farmstead Scattering also provides flexible pre-planning, with arrangements made up to five years in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Why didn’t I see the personalization questions when checking out?

If you check out using the Shop app or Shop Pay, some of our personalization questions may not appear. The Shop checkout does not currently support all of the custom fields we use to gather details about your loved one and your preferences for the scattering. After your order is received, our team will reach out to collect the necessary information to ensure the scattering is handled with care and in accordance with your wishes.

Can family members attend the scattering?

We're unable to offer in-person scatterings or visits. Farmstead Scattering Garden is part of our working family cattle farm, and safety is our top priority. Farms can be unpredictable places — with tractors moving, hay to be baled, and animals needing attention, sometimes at a moment’s notice.

There have been countless times when family dinners or planned events were delayed or rescheduled because the land required our attention — a calf being born, a storm rolling in during hay season, or other time-sensitive needs. Because of this, we cannot consistently guarantee that a scheduled in-person scattering would go as planned, and we prefer not to risk disappointment during such an important moment.

For these reasons, all scatterings are mail-in only. You will receive photos and a map of the scattering site, and you can stay connected through our Facebook page for updates on the land and animals throughout the seasons.

What happens to the urn after scattering?

If you select the urn return option, the urn will be carefully packaged and mailed back to the return address you provide. You may also choose to donate the urn or indicate that no urn is included with your shipment.

Are ashes safe for woodland soil and plants?

Cremated remains have a unique chemical composition that requires thoughtful placement. Farmstead Scattering carefully manages the weight and location of each scattering to support a healthy soil ecosystem and protect surrounding plant life, including the ferns in this woodland setting.

Can I choose the season or timing of the scattering?

Yes. Farmstead Scattering offers flexible scheduling, including pre-planning options up to five years in advance. You may select general timing, season, or enhanced timing options when placing your order. All requests are honored within practical and safety guidelines.

How does mail-in ash scattering work?

After checkout, you will receive detailed mailing instructions by email. You send the cremated remains to Farmstead Scattering Garden using the provided guidance. Once received, the ashes are respectfully scattered in the Bed of Ferns according to your selected timing and preferences. You will be notified once the scattering has been completed.
